1Create & Mix cookie dough batter

Mix the cookie dough batter. Start with the dry ingredients (including the cocoa powder) and set aside. Cream together the butter and white and brown sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Finally, add in the dry ingredients 1 cup at a time.

2Pour dough into pan

Pour all of the chocolate cookie dough into a 12" pizza pan.

3Add parchment paper

Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and press the dough into the pizza pan.

4Bake the cookie dough

Once the cookie dough is evenly pressed into the pan, bake in a 350 degree oven for 16-18 minutes. Allow the cookie to completely cool.

5Add ice cream

Place 1 gallon of vanilla ice cream in a mixer and briefly mix on a low speed until the ice cream has slightly softened. Spoon the softened vanilla ice cream into the cooled cookie shell. Place in the freezer so the ice cream can harden.

6Decorate

Decorate the top of the Ice Cream Cookie Pizza with sprinkles, chocolate syrup and mini chocolate chips.
